soundbooth test prep ?'s

[Guest guest]

My youngest daughter is 3 1/2. Mild to moderate loss. Digifocus II

aids in both ears. We have been trying to get her into the sound

booth to test her hearing seperately in each ear, but she isn't

catching on to the test. She wants to be right and make the

audiologist happy so she says she heard the sounds even when the

audi didn't play any.

I think her Left ear is better than the Right ear, but until we can

test her ears seperately the HAs will be set to the same program.

Big sister has progressive loss, so we want to keep on top of this

too.

Audi said there is a websited with games for her to play that is

called something like " ear aerobics " but i haven't found it, or

anything like it. she also suggested play games like musical chairs

with her to get her used to noticing when sounds are there and when

they aren't.

Do you have any other suggestions on games to play or how to prep

her to test again? We tried this at 3yo back in Feb and she was

having the same issues. Different audi. That time they wanted her

to drop a ball into a basket when she heard the sound, she would

always wait to see if the audiologist's cued her before she would do

anything.

Her AI itinerant teacher is on family leave right now and won't be

back til after we test Sara again. In the meantime, I can ask the

preschool teacher to work with her if there is a game or something

that would be good for the whole classroom, and i will work with her

at home.
